The Buell Lightning family is known for its combination of functional rider ergonomics and sporty styling. The Lightning Super TT provides a long, smooth 31.4-inch solo seat height with Supermoto-style, while a passenger seat can be added. 5.63-inches of suspension travel and a 54-inch wheelbase let you take the Lightning Super TT wherever the road leads. A fully adjustable 43mm Showa inverted fork and fully adjustable Showa rear shock add even more versatility.

While the Lightning Super TT has a slick, competition-inspired look with racing-style number plates, white Surlyn flyscreen and minimalist Satin Black tail section, the bike begs riders to show their inspiration for customization as these components can easily be personalized. The white Surlyn flyscreen sits below a wide, flat handlebar with cross brace, instrument panel and deflectors for aggressive street riding. The upper front fender provides debris protection with a Supermoto look.

Primed with 84 ft. lbs. of torque and broad powerband of the Buell Thunderstorm 1203 45-degree engine, the Lightning Super TT is just the bike to attack city streets. On the roads of the urban jungle or in the corners of a long canyon run, the Lightning Super TT is powerful in every gear, rpm and twist of the throttle. The air/oil/fan-cooled V-Twin engine features DDFI II electronic fuel injection and the Buell Interactive Exhaust is tuned for the ultimate in performance and control.

The 1125RR is designed to give privateer racers a turn-key machine to compete in the American Superbike class in AMA Pro Racing,” said Buell, the Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of Buell Motorcycle Company. “We want to build on our program that has proven so successful for privateers in the Daytona SportBike class.The Buell 1125RR uses some race components already used on 1125R that has taken victories in the Daytona SportBike class, such as a billet axle-adjustment system for the aluminum swingarm that incorporates chain drive for simpler gearing changes. In the axle’s center position, the double-R has a 55.5-inch wheelbase, up nearly an inch from the streetbike’s 54.6 inches. The chassis itself is unchanged from the standard 1125R’s twin-beam aluminum frame that doubles as the bike’s fuel tank.
